Our Work consists in completely reconquering what was originally present and has been lost: the Being.
This experiential process requires the rectification of the personality and at the same time, to varying degrees, the refinement of the true self.
In other words, the development of Essence requires a meticulous work of “depersonalization”. As the character superstructures are recognized as limits and sublimated, the individual gradually experiences new states of awareness and develops a new capacity for integration between what he thinks, says and does.
This talent, when awakened, focuses and motivates attention towards a single purpose: to awaken immortal consxiousness.
Along the inner journey, every experience of communion and completeness is ineffable; the effect it has on the individual’s mind, feelings and will is liberating, regenerating and prodigious.
All agitation suddenly ceases, all conflict becomes peaceful, all worries dissolve as if by magic: seeing is believing.
To the extent that Essence develops and expands, it transforms ever deeper and more fundamental sectors of the personality, reappropriating the faculty of discrimination and an active and greater objectivity. Once the Essence is recognized as one’s true Being, and experienced as such, that alchemy of consxiousness generating radical and permanent transformations takes place. The rediscovered fundamental Trust, the Aspiration to the Divine and a new Will animate and sustain the process of transubstantiation.
Essence transubstantiates into its various aspects and dimensions, awakening new aptitudes and dormant genius talents; only then does Life cease to be the exclusive domain of the shadows of the personality.
Many say they are searching for themselves and yearning for Freedom. However, what most people are generally referring to is their eccentric facade personality. Being free to be one’s personality means, in fact, remaining locked in a psycho-prison. Discovering that one is Essence, on the other hand, means having found the true Freedom to truly be oneself. Only then can the awakened individual finally say “I Am”, without being limited or influenced by the blurred image of one’s ego.
Essence is buried, and the Work we are all called to is to dig it up.
“The most important thing is not to let the mind’s eye be distracted by the contemplation of natural facts.”
Francis Bacon
